My favourite dark denim Levis have been worn to death and have not really resembled “dark denim” for some time now. I like a dark, smart denim for evening with a blazer and a pair of heels. So I’ve been on the look out for something new.

Today I stumbled upon a Ralph Lauren sale and after trying on…maybe…8 pairs of jeans (yes even when you know what style suits your shape best, you may still need to try lots of different styles and sizes til you find the just right pair) and doing the knee lift and the squat, and making sure they fit me how I wanted them to, I very happily chose these.

They are Ralph Lauren Avery Low Rise Straight Leg. They were originally $170, down to $140 with 60% off. So they ended up costing me $59.

If you’re in Melbourne, the Ralph Lauren sale is on at DFO Essendon, where they currently have 60% off everything. (not sure for how long) If you decide to go and check the jeans out, make sure you read “Ten Tips For Finding The Perfect Pair of Jeans”, first. And remember it’s only a bargain if you wear it. If it remains unworn in your wardrobe, it’s just a waste of money.

Thanks so much for helping me on Monday and for your tailored guidance in the summary.
I found the afternoon excellent.
Some of what you said I'd heard or read before but strangely hadn't applied it to myself, other things were new to me. I realise I've been buying many things thinking they were 'good enough' (they weren't), I'd seen them on someone else and thought they'd suit me too (they didn't) or because someone else thought they'd suit me (they didn't).
I've been through my wardrobe completely. I have bags ready for the op shop and can now clearly see the remaining clothes that I still love and that suit me. I also have a list of 10 things to buy now (t shirts, denim jeans and skirt, good quality shoes) and a longer list for the next few months.
I'll keep in mind your tips when shopping and trying things on.— Katherine W, Abbotsford
